Marital problems can have medical consequences--and therefore marriage counseling should have a place in medical practice. Medical education should prepare the physician for his role as counselor. These interlocked themes are the basis for this challenging book, edited by a marriage counselor and two physicians. The volume consists of twenty-two contributions, most of them by physicians.
